"Vintage, sporty style has made a big impact in the design world this year, likely thanks to the simultaneous revival of other classic, preppy styles, like Ralph Lauren Christmas decor and equestrian aesthetics. We've already seen vintage staples like the varsity letterman jacket thrive in fashion, while in the home, details from varsity-inspired pennant flags to trophy collections put on display and retro color palettes in general make a sporty statement, too."
"If you grew up playing sports, winning science fairs, or riding horses, you're probably familiar with the iconic "prize ribbon" motif. The ribbon style actually traces back to military medals, imbuing it with a sense of honor, service, and recognition. Now the iconic microtrend blends in flawlessly with the preppy Americana style, making us look at everything from our grandmother's handsewn quilts to salvaged antique signage a little differently."
"You can also use the prize ribbons you might already have tucked away in a keepsake box to create a personalized decor piece. Cluster a few together in a frame with a coordinating colorful mat for your gallery wall, fill a clear jar or vase with the ribbons to showcase on a bookshelf, or tack them to a round corkboard with a visible background for a unique wall-hanging design."
Vintage sporty design has resurged across fashion and interiors, linked to revival of preppy styles like Ralph Lauren holiday decor and equestrian aesthetics. Varsity-inspired elements—letterman jackets, pennant flags, trophy displays, and retro color palettes—are appearing in homes. The prize ribbon motif, originating from military medals, conveys honor and recognition while fitting preppy Americana. Prize ribbons can be repurposed into personalized decor: framed clusters with colorful mats, clear jars or vases for bookshelf displays, or mounted on corkboards for wall hangings. Vintage keepsake ribbons enable unique, nostalgic accents that refresh galleries and shelving with sporty character.
